Kimi Raikkonen to leave Ferrari ..is this true

[Rikhart]

A great article about Kimi's departure from Ferrari. What do you think? Is there some kind of truth?

[THE TRUTH ABOUT KIMI RAIKKONEN, FERRARI AND SANTANDER IN 2008]

Of course it´s all true, it´s like an elephant trying to hide behind a tree. And based on that:

-Lovely that massa didnt win in 2008.
-Lovely that alonso hasnt won with ferrari, probably never will.
-Super lovely alonso blundered into Kimi in suzuka, punctured his tyre and said bye bye to yet another year
-Comedy gold how Kimi schooled alonso in melbourne
-Waiting for the next episodes =D>

Cylinder you are only one who think Raikkonen was replacement for Schumacher. He was new driver in team, Schumacher retired and team needed new first driver and Kimi was option, in that time Alonso said he will NEVER drive for red team so he signed for Mclaren. Now same driver who said he will never drive for Ferrari is your everything, and guy who bring you championship is just replacement for Schumacher and poorer driver then Alonso. I cant see where your logic come from.

If Fernando Alonso was driving the F2007 and 2008 kimi had, he would be a two time world champion at Ferrari and he certainly wouldnt be getting humbled week in week out by Massa.

Secondly, Yes, Alonso said he would never drive for us, so what. The Tifosi HATED Alonso in 06, but now he is the man, times change.

Raikonnen's title at Ferrari means nothing, im sorry but its the truth, we all know how lucky he was to get that with that in fighting at Mclaren and Massa moving over and doing a job for him in the final race of the season...I know that sounds harsh, but that season he had was NOTHING compared to the season Alonso had last year....and that's what the tifosi go for, Passion, fight...none of which raikonnen really showed at Ferrari.

When you are number 1 driver at Ferrari, you carry the brand, the team, and everyone looks to you to LEAD and DELIVER and Kimi Raikonnen didn't lead and over his time at Ferrari, he didnt really deliver either, which was obviously going to be the case as he was nothing like the Schumacher type driver ferrari was looking for.

Alonso is the closest thing alive to a prime schumacher, thats why he fits in so well.

I will simply answer that Kimi would never be schooled by a rookie, and meltdown with frustration, trying to destroy a team from inside.

As if Kimi would have beaten Hamilton That was Hamilton's best ever season btw, and Alonso finished equal on race wins and second places with him, in a team that was against him.....

Kimi raikonnen couldnt even handle Massa.

Your talking apples and Oranges here.

When the team principals get asked ''who is the best driver in the sport today''

Who do they vote for?

Let me know.

Please the link or any type of soucre when Alonso said i will NEVER drive for Ferrari... thank you

i cant find link from that year, it was 2006. he still drived for renault, when he decided leave renault, only options who had was ferrari or mclaren. how was till that year with ferrari in championship fight and briatore as his manager, he was opposite driving for ferrari. however when he leaved mclaren and he get back to renault, and how renault couldnt gave him championship and option back to mclaren was unforgivable so he changed his mind and signed for Ferrari.

i know this for sure and is truth because i was big fan of renault and i followed every news. that time was for me most precious season of watching f1, watching Renault winning championship and stopping ferrari dominance.

A quick lesson on how to spot a thread inescapably heading to the trapdoor of doom:

- Topics with someone's name in the title
- Posts indicating loyalty and faith above objectivity such as "us" and "we".
- Posts relating to gloating and bragging such as "owned" and "schooled".

If in doubt, stick to the threads that discuss inanimate objects.
